Replying To Tirchonaill1: "I don't normally reply to trolls but I'll make an exception because you made me laugh with this reply, it reminds me of a discussion I heard on 'off the ball' one time, could have been David Brady that was on not sure but anyway they maintained that if the Dublin 6 in a row team where the best team of all time then Mayo were the second best!
you'd just have to laugh at their logic,
of course Donegal actually beat that great Dublin team in 2014, otherwise it possibly could have been 8 in a row but you don't hear us saying we were the second best team of all time lol.
Poor Mayo, I really do feel sorry for them, at least most of the team from that era got a national league winners medal and a good few Connacht medals having beaten the likes of Leitrim, Sligo, London and New York along the way, 2nd best team of all time indeed." And you know if they ever do win one, David will be back to say they're best team of all time of course. Insufferable fools.

Replying To KingdomofBreifne: "By the way your team are playing at the moment, you'll be there soon enough. We'll be fine. We're young and rebuilding but will stay up. We don't want to miss the opportunity to aid your downward momentum next year." Consensus in Cavan is there is very little coming through. "A heap of middling to ordinary Bradys and Reillys" as a man from Kingscourt described them recently to me. They are kicking it into a 41 year oldmon the edge of the square to good effect all the same.

This voted in format is ludicrous and should be changed back to last years format- Read the below and correct if wrong
Section A is supposed to be the top tier. Yet a team finishing third (9th overall) in Section B can reach a quarter final and potentially a semi final without facing one of the top Section A sides in the group stage.
At the same time, that same team may not be promoted the following year, as only first and second in Section B go up.
So a team could be in the last four of the championship but still not be considered good enough for Section A. That makes no sense.
Three of six teams in Section B qualify for a quarter final. That reduces the jeopardy in that group and increases the likelihood of dead rubbers late in the championship. A strong Section B side could have qualification secured with games to spare- Meanwhile, Section A teams are battling at a higher level from round one.
The structure weakens the link between grading and championship merit. It should be reviewed and return to last year's format, which was clearer and more consistent.
